Latest Mont Saint Michel hotel reviews
La Cloche Creperie is situated along the main street (le Grande Rue) on Le Mont St Michel. We browsed many cafes along this route before settling (quitem comfortably) in this homey establishment. Nothing fancy, but the food is divine and you can watch the cooks prepare every dish in front of you if you sit in the main area. There is also a loft with extra seating and toilets. What I liked about this place is that it was simple, the food was tasty and great for the pocketbook! They also served ice cream and galettes (my new personal favorite) including ones with cheese, potatoes, and bacon. Mmmmmm! The staff, although not terribly jolly, were cordial enough for the fast-pace atmosphere they were conducting (and 100% better than others we browsed previously!).
Favorite Dish: The Sayonard Galette! Savory potato and cheese and bacon in a buckwheat pancake! Simple yet filling!

La Cave restaurant was the little restaurant connected to our hotel in Pontorson, Hotel La Cave. We had dinner and breakfast here during our one night stay.
The restaurant is located at the front of the hotel, and has an attractive frontage with some bright flower boxes. Inside it has been fitted out to have a bit of a 'cave' feel, with bumpy walls and a low ceiling.
There was only a few tables of diners the night we were there (it was a Monday night), all patrons of the hotel, but it is open to the public as well. The friendly hotel owner was also our waiter and barman for the evening.
Favorite Dish: The food was tasty! Alex & I had the lamb cooked in herbs which had an amazing flavour. Chris had the ham cooked in cider which she also enjoyed.
Dessert for Chris was a selection of cheeses that she deemed excellent, I had the Crème Brulee and Alex had the Apple tart.
We also managed to polish off a nice bottle of wine and coffee afterwards.

Located at the foot of Mont Saint Michel Abbey, Poulard restaurant offers local food in a dining room with a view over the sea or the city medieval walls. Its crowded and I recommend you reserve a table.
Favorite Dish: Their omelet dishes are famous and good.

The day we went it was very busy but I would expect all the restaurants in Mont St Michels will be the same. The result was not the best of service but everyone seemed rushed off there feet. The food was well cooked and tasted excellent but some missed out on vegetables. May be it was our fault for not understanding the menu though I suspect the waiter was not too bothered making sure we were properly served.

We walk up and down the main tourist drag in Mount St Michel. Even though there were many sit down restaurents the prices were very high.. even when compared to Paris. At first I though about just biting the bullet and getting a snack.
Later of after thoughts we took the english guided tour and stayed a little late and got his opinion on where to eat. He said do not eat in any sit down restaurent as the food is not only bad and overprices also he said that there were many cases of people getting food poisoned.
So we decided to grab some sandwiches that were also over priced and ate them.
Favorite Dish: Every one seemed to be advertising the Omlets that was supposedly claimed to be the best. I did not get to try it though..

We only ate take away deli food at the Mond st Michel as the restaurents were all very overpriced. I also spoke to the English Guide at the Abby was gave us a low down on the restaurents and suggest that we skip any sit down meal as ther prices were just exhorbetant for very medicore food.
So we decided to grab a bite in town near the train station. Sadly the town looked like a ghost town with only 1 bar and restaurent that was open. As it was more of a bar than a restaurent the smoke was over bearing and could not sut down and eat a decent meal.
The food was below average and bland with no taste.. at least it was not as expensive at the Abby.
Favorite Dish: Nothing to write about...

La Mere Poulard (In Le Mont Saint Michel)
What a terrible restaurant for a terribly high price and a horrible service; a true tourist trap. We had the remarkably stupid idea of having a light dinner on April 14, 2009. An omelet with about 2 tablespoons of lobster meat and 1 tablespoon of dry white rice for 48 EU !!!! 3 omelets with a bottle of wine for 174 EU= 233 $ US. You get a much better tasting omelet at McDonalds for pennies ! The service was even worse; the waiter spilled our bottle of wine and to show his remorse he came back with a glass (yes a single glass) of a miscellaneous red wine ! An overall terrible experience. Do yourselves a favor; stay out of it. They deserve to go out of business.

Great staff, very welcoming and spoke great English to help us with our horrible French. The salads, crepes and gallettes were amazing! Best price for the money.
They also have rooms available for the night at a great price.
Favorite Dish: We enjoyed the warm goat cheese on a salad and the gallettes with onion, ham, and creme

Everything in Mont Saint Michel feels like a tourist trap. Except, of course for the beautiful abbey. Enjoy a half day at the mount and then head to another town to stay and for dinner. I suggest Saint Malo, we had a wonderful time there our first night and then headed to MSM for the 2nd and wished we had stayed in Saint Malo. ALL the Food in MSM is OVERPRICED AND BAD - right down to the coffee at the only outdoor cafe (4.50 Euro - for a cup of black coffee, which was bad). Please take the advice of a well traveled and very optomistic traveler - spend your money else where.
